Priety Zinta dimpled her way into the hearts of million of fans with the Perk commercial directed by Shekhar Kapoor more than a decade back.

Today she considered amongst the most respected actress of Bollywood as she has made a place for herself as one of the best actresses today.

With films like Dil Se, Kya Kehna (her first full fledged performance as a complete actress) Armaan, Dil Chahta Hai, Koi Mil Gaya, Kal Ho Naa Ho and Heroes, the actress has proved that she is not just a pretty face but a talented actress too.

With films like Veer Zaara and now Videsh, Preity showed her detractors that she was not her to just run around trees but also give powerful performances.

A source close to the talented beauty tells us, "Right now Preity may not have signed many films apart from Yash Chopra's forthcoming venture and Sohail Khan's Main Aur Mrs Khanna but the actress is playing it pretty safe and accepting only roles which can do justice to the talent that she is blessed with.

Since she has come to a stage where she knows that she has had a long and outstanding innings to play. She has now moved on to IPL and made a mark there is no looking back for the actress.

Preity is looking forward to doing quality work and is here to stay."

Indeed, from the chirpy bubbly youngster we saw in Soldier and Dil Se, she has now matured into a fine actress.
